Product details
Overview
MF3ICD2101DUD/05 from NXP Semiconductors is a contactless multi-application smart card IC compliant with ISO/IEC 14443A, featuring 2 kB EEPROM, 13.56 MHz RF interface, Common Criteria EAL4+ certification, and hardware AES/3DES cryptographic engines. It serves as the secure transaction core in public transport cards, access control credentials, and closed-loop e-payment devices.
For engineers reviewing the MF3ICD2101DUD/05 datasheet, MF3ICD2101DUD/05 pinout, MF3ICD2101DUD/05 application, or MF3ICD2101DUD/05 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, memory architecture details, security command set coverage, interoperability with legacy MIFARE readers, and real-world deployment constraints for transit ticketing and government ID systems.
Technical Context
The MF3ICD2101DUD/05 implements a deterministic anti-collision protocol per ISO/IEC 14443-3, supports four data rates (106–848 kbit/s), and uses true random number generation for session keys. Its on-chip crypto co-processor handles mutual three-pass authentication using 128-bit AES or 168-bit 3DES with 8-byte CMAC integrity protection.
Memory organization includes up to 28 applications and 32 files per application, with file types supporting linear/cyclic records, value operations, and backup-enabled data storage. Transaction-oriented automatic anti-tear ensures atomicity for credit/debit and record write operations without host-side coordination.

FAQ
What is the memory capacity and endurance specification of MF3ICD2101DUD/05?
The MF3ICD2101DUD/05 integrates 2 kB of EEPROM with a typical write endurance of 500,000 cycles and 10-year data retention at 22 °C. This capacity supports up to 28 applications and 32 files per application, with file sizes defined at creation. The MF3ICD2101DUD/05 uses hardware-managed wear leveling and automatic anti-tear to preserve integrity during frequent value-file updates in transit or payment use cases.
Does MF3ICD2101DUD/05 support ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands?
Yes, MF3ICD2101DUD/05 supports key ISO/IEC 7816-4 APDU instructions including SELECT FILE (INS A4), READ BINARY (B0), UPDATE BINARY (D6), READ RECORDS (B2), APPEND RECORD (E2), GET CHALLENGE (84), INTERNAL AUTHENTICATE (88), and EXTERNAL AUTHENTICATE (82). These enable seamless integration with existing PKI-based middleware and EMV-compliant backend systems without protocol translation layers.
How does the security architecture of MF3ICD2101DUD/05 differ from legacy MIFARE Classic?
The MF3ICD2101DUD/05 implements hardware-accelerated AES-128 and 3DES with 8-byte CMAC, Common Criteria EAL4+ certification, and mutual three-pass authentication - unlike MIFARE Classic's proprietary Crypto1 cipher and lack of formal evaluation. MF3ICD2101DUD/05 also enforces application-level key isolation and prevents unauthorized key extraction via side-channel resistant design, making it suitable for high-risk deployments where MIFARE Classic is deprecated.
Can MF3ICD2101DUD/05 operate with existing MIFARE reader infrastructure?
Yes, MF3ICD2101DUD/05 maintains full backward compatibility with ISO/IEC 14443A-compliant MIFARE readers, including legacy PCDs designed for MIFARE Classic and DESFire EV0. It supports RATS/PPS negotiation and operates at all standard data rates (106–848 kbit/s), enabling drop-in replacement in deployed transit gateways and access panels without firmware upgrades.
What packaging format is supplied for MF3ICD2101DUD/05 and how is it integrated?
MF3ICD2101DUD/05 is supplied as an unpackaged die in FFC (Film Frame Carrier) format - an 8-inch sawn wafer with 120 µm thickness and SECS-II electronic fail-die marking. Integration requires lamination into PVC or PET smart card substrates with tuned loop antennas, or embedding into plastic modules like SOT500-2 carriers. No PCB mounting or soldering is applicable; RF coupling is achieved solely through magnetic induction.
